Somewhat off topic but somewhat related, I have tried a whole bunch of different smart watches and activity trackers, and my current favorite is made by Skagen.
Specifically, the "Signatur Connected Leather Hybrid Smartwatch". It looks like an analog watch, but it has smart watch functions and connects to your phone with bluetooth.
Favorite things about it: It has an analog subdial that shows progress towards your daily step goal. It has three 'real' analog buttons that you can connect to just about any function on your phone. I have one button mapped to start/stop any music that is playing. Another button moves the hour and minute hands to point to the date. The third button sets off the ringer on my phone.
And the battery is a normal watch battery, which should last between 6 months and a year. Check it out, I think it hits the right balance between minimal analog watch and smart functions.
Probably sounds silly, but I absolutely love Gimp and Inkscape, and use them both everyday. Their poor support on Mac was one of the reason I switched back to Windows.
It's odd, because I've read all the arguments about how OSX is a unix, etc., but in the real world I've found better success running user facing open source application on Windows.
It's true for anything with a GUI using GTK or similar. For cmdline, macOS is generally a lot better. WSL is getting really good as well, so cmdline on Windows (well, it's actually Linux, but running on Windows) is getting really good. Other open source things (like Emacs) has macOS and Windows native GUI support built in and mostly works great on all platforms.
I don't understand, GNU is not Unix, Unix is not open source, OSX is a +/- closed source of a fork of BSD. How using a Mac supports Free sowtware or even open source?
The problem you are having with the icons and clicks mis-registering is due to OpenGL rendering. I had the same problem. Go to Tools-Options-View and disable OpenGL rendering, should fix the problem.
Looks like there is some problem with the Intel drivers and LibreOffice, not sure.
I commented in the other thread a few days ago, but I LOVE my XPS 15. I opted for the lower res matte screen, but otherwise maxed out the available specs.
The battery life is fantastic. The touchpad is the best I've ever used on a Windows laptop. The GPU is excellent (960m). The keyboard is great.
Overall, no complaints. I did also purchase an XPS 13, which I thought was great, but the screen was just a little too small.
FWIW I purchased my 'refurb', they pop up from time to time on Dell Outlet, but they go quick.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Linux works flawlessly. Currently running Antergos, but have also run Ubuntu.
By the way, the XPS 13 has been upgraded to intel's latest (Kaby Lake?), but the XPS 15 hasn't yet. It's probably coming any day, so if you're thinking about purchasing you might want to wait a couple weeks.
